The presence and development of private or small aviation in Russia, Kazakhstan and CIS countries with aircraft made by Cessna, Piper Aircraft and other manufacturers is currently limited by the absence of special fuel and its high cost. At the moment, AVGAS 100LL is the dominant fuel for the aircraft with Lycoming and Continental piston engines. It is hardly available outside the USA or Europe and it is supposed to disappear completely in the near future. Aerojet Baltic installs diesel engines as the official distributor of Technify Engines GmbH.

Centurion engines represent the future of private light aviation. They have many advantages in comparison with gasoline engines. Economical fuel consumption, engine cost and reliability. The German company Centurion has been specializing in manufacture of engines for the military industry since 1997. Since recently the company has been producing certified aircraft engines:

С-2.0, 135 hp

С -2.0S, 155 hp

Savings of more than € 100,000 for 1,500 flight hours

Savings of more than € 120,000 for 1,500 flight hours

These engines are installed into Cessna-172, Piper-28, Diamond DA-40/DA-42, Robin DR-400 and other aircraft. They are completed with their own reducing gear and three-bladed controllable pitch propeller.

The engines run simultaneously on the common European-quality diesel fuel and TS-1 jet kerosene available in all airports all over the world.

As of January 2012, these engines have flown more than 3 000 000 fault-free hours.

AVGAS 100L - is a high-octane fuel (gasoline) made in Finland. It is used exclusively for Lycoming and Continentalpiston aircraft engines.
They are wide-spread at private airdromes and aeroclubs in European countries and in the USA.
